The cry of Home Rule for Ireland was
first heard i'm England in 1878 and, strange
ly enough, it came from Irish ProteStantS.
and not Irish Roman Catholics. Al this

Our Candidates.

Above we give the names of the
candidates nominated by the Repub-
Mean Convention Tuesday. We con-
graduate the party that so good a
ticket has been placed before the peo-
pie for their support, and believe that
it will command the full strength of
the Republican party. There GER
tainly can be no valid reason why
any Republican should refuse to sup.
port the ticket and if the ticket gets
the support of the Republican party
there can be no doubt of its election
by majority of two hundred.
We desire as soon as convenient to
speak of our candidates Individually
In these columns. Until we do this
we commend the ticket as whole to
our readers. and bespeak their ear
nest support.

How the Soldiers Voted.

Apropos of the claims of the Demo-
cratic press that there were as many
or more, Democrats in the Union
ranks as there were Republicans, it
is we'll once in a while to refer to the
official figures.
In 1864, there were eleven states
which had passed laws to allow their
soldiers in the field to vote at the
Presidential election, and thus ex-
press their party preferences. McClel-
Ian was the Democratic candidate,
and he was a great favorite with the
boys in blue. Many Republican
soldier in the Virginia camps voted
for Little Mac" because of per,
sonal liking for his old commando.
Yet with this advantage, the softer
vote was tremendously large foyLin-
coin. Here are the figures:

the land was in Territories, to secure

In the Pitt Palace at Florence is a
table which, for originality in the
matters of construction and ghastli-

out RIVAL. 1t was made he Giusep-
pc Sagatti, who passed many years
of his life in its manufacture. To the
casual observer it gives the impress
sion of curious mosaic of marbles of
different shades and colors, for it
looks like polished stone. In real
ity it is composed of human muscles
and viscera. No less than hundred
bodies were requsitioned for the ma.

being formed of petrified human re-

What the B. & O, Now Owes.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 23.-Messrs. J.
A. Hambleton & Co., the bankers Of
this city haye issued a circular giving
table showing the stock and the
funded Indebtedness of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad company and the
interest charges on the same. The
dividend on the Baltimore and Ohio
stock is calculated at per cent. and
on the Washington Branch at 10 per
cent. The company owns 81 900, 900
of the Washington Branch stock.
The capital stock is $5,000.000 first
and second preferred stock, S14,792,-
566 common stock and 81, $50, 900
Washington Branch stock. The total
bond and stock debt is $S3, $3.50, 72l,
upon which the fixed interest and
dividend charges, as calculated, are
S4,5SS,8OO.
The net earnings for the fiscal year
ended September 80, 1886, were &c.
3S6,694.7S. The company has in.
dorsed and guaranteed the bonds of
other railroad companies to an
amount aggregating $l2,715,0 900, in
Guiding $5,035,OO0 Cincinnati, WASH
ington and Baltimore first Al per
CENTS, upon which interest is earned.
Notwithstanding the large increase
in the bonded obligations of the Bal
timore and Ohio company, the earn
ings are quite sufficient to meet all
fixed charges, including the interest
on the proposed new issue of stock
and bonds. and to pay reasonable
dividends ON the stock.
The investigations of the syndi-
cate have been satisfactory, and their
report will show that the company
has many good and available securi-
ties, which, together with the tele-
graph and parlor and sleeping car
investments, furnish assets worth
many millions of dollars. The cir
cular further says: "a significant
feature of our market this week was
the demand for Baltimore and Ohio
stock. The orders to buy are sup.
posed to be for account of New York,
and it is to be presumed that the pur-
chasers have good reason for buying
Baltimore and Ohio when other
securities are being pressed for sale.
Sales were made at 1881 to l25, all of
the stock offered being taken and
more bid for, with limited offerings
at advanced figures.

Will Test the Beer.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 25.-
Commissioner Miller, of the Internal
Revenue Bureau, yesterday said that
he intended to make tests of the
various kinds of beer sold through
out the country. These tests will be
made public in the interest of the
people, and owing to the methods to
be followed in collecting the samples,
che brewers will not be able to rem
der the tests nugatory by prepara-
ton.
1t is the intention Of the Commits
sioner to transmit to Congress the
results of the Investigations he is
about to make into the purity of the
different brands of beer. If delete
rious authorizations are revealed, the
Commissioner will suggest that Con-
gress confer power upon the bureau
to prevent the making of impure
beer.
A special dispatch from Washing
ton to st. Louis paper says: "Mr.
Miller is now preparing statement
which will show the fact that the tax
on whiskey decreased from 500, 092, 266
in 1886 to $50 1929. 1921 in 1856 1877 4,
while the tax on beer increased from
S19.676,7 in ISS5-'S6 to S2l, 1922, 1877
in 1S96-'87. Commissioner Miller says
it is the intention to have the beer in
all leading breweries in the country
analysed by competent chemists, and
gives as his reason therefor the many
complaints made in the press and to
himself against the quality of many
beers in LIE market. He will have
different brands procured from re-
tailers in various parts of the coun-
try, and thinks in this way he will
be able to show what the people
drink. There is no doubt. he says
that there is a great deal of beer in
the market that doesn't deserve the
name. Right here in the capital q
good deal of beer is sold for Sc a bar.
rel and for 80 cents per box of two
dozen pint bottles. 1t is impossible
that these low price beers should be
pure. The complaints about the bad
quality and injurious character o.
beer have not been unfOunded. Doc.
tors say the deliberations by glucose
and other chemicals cause diseases o.
the kidneys and liver, which prove
fatal in very many cases. 1t is fol
that reason that Commissioner Miller
has decided to let people know what
they drink under the name of beer
There are, however, those who say
the whiskey men are behind the
Commissioner, that they are alarmed
at the decrease of strong and increase
of weak drinks, and have urged the
Commissioner to have beer analysed
in hope of inducing people to give
up beer and return to whiskey fol
drinks"

readily be seen that if the Indepen-
dents can keep their promise they
have only to secure count of the vote
to insure the election of the entire
Republican ticket. Mr.. William M.
Marbury, a leading member of the
Baltimore bar. who has been a DEM
ocrat all his life. voiced the sentiment
of the Independent party when he
stated that an attempt to tamper with
the ballots of the Independents this
year would certainly lead to blood
shed, as each and every man among
them is determined that the ballots
shall be counted.
